This topic describes how to configure a Windows firewall for Database Engine access in SQL Server 2016 by using SQL Server Configuration Manager.

I have got this error while trying to install SharePoint 2013 What is Max Degree of Parallelism ? When an instance of SQL Server runs on a computer that has more than one microprocessor or CPU, it detects the best degree of parallelism, that is, the number of processors employed to run a single statement, for each parallel plan execution. You can use the  max degree of parallelism  option to limit the number of processors to use in parallel plan execution. SQL Server considers parallel execution plans for queries, index data definition language (DDL) operations, and static and keyset-driven cursor population. Read this for more details http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189094.aspx How to fix it ? Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Login with sysadmin user Right Click on instance name and select properties >> Advanced Change  Max Degree of Parallelism  to 1 Restart the SQL Service

The Requirement was to build a portal /web application which will have migrated sites and new set of sites as per agreed site structure. According to the agreed architecture and design we created a new web application and started building the site hierarchy. As part of this we followed the regular approach database detach –attach method and migrated the existing SharePoint 2010 site .Migration was successful and we were able to access the site  with the system account.
